Recently, while trying to optimize an FTP server's performance during
the 4.4-STABLE network code transition (i.e. when network performance
really sucked ;-), I found the following sysctl variables handy:

net.inet.tcp.sendspace
net.inet.tcp.recvspace


These values can be changed "on the fly" with sysctl -w.  Whether they
actually change a running stream (or just future ones) I don't know.
